This certainly goes against conventions at times. That intro is laden with all kinds of emotions, each representative of the instruments and their voicings, all weaving around one another. Hearing a proper brass section is a delight as I feel as though it has been under-represented in this jam somewhat. Piano work is super solid too, playing right in the pocket. I could extend this to the keys in general as the synth lines are fantastic and there are some fine examples of articulation at play here.
The gradual modulation from minor to major is what really sells this piece as a whole - such a great take on the theme and executed so well. The thought of even trying to do that kind of thing myself has my mind boggled, but you've killed it. Instrumentation was fantastic, melodies memorable and production across the board is great. Awesome job!
